Pioneer In Airway Orthodontics

A common misperception of orthodontic treatment is that it treats a problem that is primarily aesthetic. Indeed, the confidence that comes from straight teeth and a beautiful smile can benefit you throughout your life. Orthodontics is about more than looks, however!

When a child’s facial structure is guided properly, there can be lasting positive effects on the way they breathe. As an orthodontist and children’s dentist in Gainesville, FL and Chiefland, FL, specializing in Airway Orthodontics, Dr. Martin strives to provide orthodontic treatment that does more than straighten teeth. Dr. Martin seeks to provide you or your child with a lifetime of healthy breathing.

Since 1979, our orthodontist and children’s dentist in Gainesville, FL and Chiefland, FL, has helped over 30,000 patients in the North Florida area transform their happy and healthy smiles. While working on his breakthroughs with airway orthodontics and his focus on “peak performance” for his patients, Dr. Martin came to realize his passion for the development of children and setting them on a path to the best versions of themselves, or “peak performance”. Since then, he has incorporated children’s dentistry into the office here in Jonesville and the Gainesville area. Both of our outstanding doctors are committed to professional improvement and are constantly seeking new technology and continuing education in their field. No matter what your condition may be, Dr. Martin and Dr. Gleeson-Hill have likely helped a similar patient in their many years of experience. We are happy to show you before-and-after pictures to provide examples of their exceptional results!

Advanced Technology

Martin Kids Dental is proud to bring cutting edge technology to our practices in Gainesville and Chiefland, FL.

Additionally, we use other technology such as the Trios 3Shape digital scanner and the Nomad digital x-ray.
